Resident Evil's wild inconsistency has made me as disappointed and excited as a person can get about videogames. I'm leaning towards excitement with Resident Evil Village, but familiar concerns are spinning back up. The series is once again following the trajectory of Resident Evil through Resident Evil 3, where sparse combat scenarios featuring one or two slowly shuffling enemies are replaced with legions of zombies sprinting against machine gun fire. We're going to need some huge fucking guns to take out Village's big hammer oaf.
